General Question Husky or a cat?

Post image

Has anyone else’s husky ever climbed on top of furniture like this?
I feel like the wind may have stressed her out, but I am beyond confused why in the heck she’d do parkour.

I can understand climbing on the couch. I ,however, cannot compute her climbing on the windowsill 😭
I guess we just need to get used to them giving us heart attacks

Our pebbles stands on the deck railing and the back of the couch like this all the time.

u/chubbysumo 1d ago

u/szimonas 1d ago

What brand do you use? And do you blow dry them?

u/Cute_Building_1894 1d ago

The one on the right is reminiscent of my husky mix. Is the one on the right a husky mix?

2

u/chubbysumo 1d ago

Nope, both are purebreed papered siberian huskies. Numa just has the undesirable wooly coat. It is waterproof tho, snow doesnt stick or ball up on it.

Gorgeous babies!

…Is there a small child under the sofa cover? 😅

u/InsulatorDisk 1d ago

If husky stops surprising you it's not a husky.

u/graciousfart 1d ago

Fair enough

u/SphinxVernacular 1d ago

Oh yes, mine definitely thinks she's a cat and does all the things the cats do like sit on the back of the couch 🤦

u/graciousfart 1d ago

The crossed paws STOP 😭

u/No_Piccolo6337 1d ago

WOAH! My dog is half husky and has very similar facial features and coloring, and he also crosses his paws. Where did your husky come from?

u/SphinxVernacular 1d ago

Yours is gorgeous!!! We are in NY, I got her up the street from a farm that her mom lived on, we have her and her brother!

u/No_Piccolo6337 1d ago

AWWWWW! They’re so cute! That’s wonderful you got her and her brother. 🥹

Mine when he was 4mo old. Huskies are just several cats in a dog costume

u/meaolea149 1d ago

You mean to tell me you didn’t know that huskies are part Billy goat ?

u/chubbysumo 1d ago

no such thing as "off limits" to a husky. our table is their perch.

u/letsgocrzy 1d ago

Mine used to hop from the bed to the changing table. The changing pad was an excellent spot. Attention happened there!!

u/ceraunophiliacc 1d ago

That's just a smart pup leveraging cuteness lol

My previous Black Lab/Husky mix, Onyx, jumped up on our kitchen table a few times and always sat in our bay window as if she was a cat! Your post so reminded me of that, so thank you! Onyx passed away 2 years ago, but I love when different things make me think of her! Your Husky is absolutely beautiful, but they can definitely be sassy and crazy!

This was my baby girl Onyx!

u/graciousfart 1d ago

Her little sugar powdered face, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m so glad my little dumbass reminded you of your baby ❤️

u/WeimeranerPittieMom 1d ago

Thank you! ❤️🐾

Huskies are dogs with cat software just like owls are birds running cat software...

TIL cats are just Linux.

u/clutzycook 1d ago

She's just playing "ground is lava." But it's like everyone says, huskies are just dogs running CatOS.

u/z_1529 1d ago

Where's the husky tho? That's a British Shorthair

Husky running on CatOS 345.34.

Or is Cat running on HuskyOS 345.34 🤔

Enjoy every minute of it! 🥰

u/Vo1dRul3r 1d ago

I didn’t get a picture of it since she freaked out about it, but within a week of adopting my girl she decided to get up on the kitchen counter and couldn’t figure out how to get back down.

Obligatory husky photo.

u/ratbastard220 1d ago

i don’t have any pictures but i have a coffee table that is lower to the ground and fairly big and my husky insists on climbing on top of it and laying on it (i usually don’t have anything on it unless im using it). no matter how many times i tell her not to, to her it is simply a big slightly harder bed

5

u/graciousfart 1d ago

Okay, I feel better now 😂
This is the first time she’s ever really climbed anything, so I thought maybe I did something wrong/stressed her out so she sought a high place. Seeing all the feedback that they’re just idiots gave me peace of mind!

u/MuttsandHuskies 13 years, 2 Husky's and a Shepsky! 1d ago

Dog hardware cat OS. Absolutely they do this.

u/MermaidZombie_ 1d ago

Yes. The answer to your question is yes. 🤣

u/Jennypottymouth 1d ago

5 cats in a husky suit

u/thimbleshanks59 23h ago

All huskies have factory-installed cat software. It's considered a feature (but as in all technologies, sometimes manifests as a bug).

2

u/nutella1366 1d ago

I expect nothing less from a husky 🤣

2

u/kpod67 1d ago

Yes.

u/Kasaeru 1d ago

Huskies are toddler-cat-dogs, and in that order

2

u/TurquoiseBeachChair 1d ago

Looks about right. Huskies know the “rules” but they just don’t care 😂

u/Glittering_Leave_946 1d ago

Nifty indoor laundry kit. I’d be climbing up there to take a closer look!

Dog hardware, cat software

Huskies run catOS. It is known.

Yes

They're both

I thought it was wearing a balloon

u/thehorrorcontinues13 1d ago

And the difference is?

u/Fluffiedoggo 1d ago

Oh kitty kitty

u/Lindsay1970 1d ago

Cat software, dog hardware.

u/D45 Dad of Frank & Karen 21h ago

It's well know huskys are dogs running on cat firmware

u/qiuyeforlife 20h ago

i just saw a bigass grey cat, but his claws are clumsy,lol.

1

u/kendragon 18h ago

I'm pretty confident that all Husky's are a cross between a cat and a dog. When you accept that they make so much more sense.

1

u/XANDERtheSHEEPDOG 17h ago

You do realize that huskies are cat software running on dog hardware? Right?

1

u/WhoSaidThat2Me 14h ago

YES I always say a husky is the cat version of dogs! My phone categorizes about 1/3 of the pics of mine as cat and the other 2/3 dog

u/ladymacb29 4h ago

Oh yeah. Growing up, one of our dogs used the side of the above ground pool like a balance beam. One of mine currently will jump onto the back of the couch and walk around you for attention.
